Light-filled top-floor Victorian conversion offering generous one-bedroom living across 584 sqft. High ceilings and period bay-window character give an airy feel, while contemporary fittings in the kitchen and bathroom keep the apartment move-in ready for many buyers.
The flat is chain-free and comes with share of freehold, plus access to a large loft with clear scope to extend (subject to planning permission). That loft opportunity presents a real chance to increase floor area and long-term value for a buyer willing to progress a planning application.
Practical points are straightforward: service charge circa £1,300 pa, a remaining lease of around 87 years, and mains gas heating with recently installed double glazing. The property sits on a quiet residential street moments from the Crystal Palace Triangle’s shops, cafés and transport links — suitable for a first-time buyer seeking a balance of calm and city convenience.
Buyers should factor in some limitations: the loft extension is subject to planning (not guaranteed), the building’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, and the area shows higher deprivation metrics with average crime levels. For someone prepared to invest modestly in insulation or cosmetic updating, the flat offers strong potential and sensible running costs (cheap council tax and fast broadband).
